 ~HSE PLAN vs SMS~

●HSE Plan: Site/project-specific document outlining safety procedures, risks, and controls

●SMS (Safety Management System): Organization-wide framework for managing safety systematically

HSE Plan Components:

1. Scope & objectives

2. Risk assessments

3. Safety procedures

4. Roles & responsibilities 

5. Emergency response

6. Training requirements

7. Inspection schedules

8. PPE requirements

Relationship:

●HSE Plan operates within SMS framework

●SMS provides overall structure while HSE Plan gives specific implementation

●HSE Plan must align with SMS policies

●SMS guides multiple HSE Plans across organization

Many HSE Plans fail by just copying ISO/SMS clauses without including:

●Project-specific hazards

●Site conditions

●Actual work activities

●Real risk controls

- Local emergency procedures
